3201.90.10
Tannic acid, containing by weight 50 percent or more of tannic acid
Analysis
HTS 3201.90.10 covers tannic acid, containing by weight 50 percent or more of tannic acid under heading 3201 (tanning extracts of vegetable origin; tannins and their salts, ethers, esters and other…).
The general duty rate is 1.5% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 32 (21st percentile of 106 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $150 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 3.1%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 3201.90.50 (other: other), at 3.1%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 1.6 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 1.5%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
